It's the one thing they can't do. They can make you say anything - anything - but they can't make you believe it. They can't get inside you... They could not alter your feelings, for that matter you could not alter them yourself, even if you wanted to. They could lay bare in the utmost detail everything that you had done or said or thought; but the inner heart, whose workings were mysterious even to yourself, remained impregnable.
- Nineteen Eighty-four, George Orwell
掌權者雖手執強權但卻活在罪疚惶恐之中
他們震怒 只因自己理屈詞窮
願因不畏強權而被牢困的人能早日回家團聚
We will hopefully live longer than the Big Brother who double-speaks and oppresses its own people - at least democracy will.
